Hi all,
I'm playing with debian-installer and debian-cd to build a custom netinst
image, but I feel a little unconfortable with debian-cd documentation.. maybe
the list could help me.

Need: to just build a netinst cd from scratch having netboot 2.4 and 2.6
images built from d-i svn and having a local apt mirror.

Question: Where I can specify in CONF.sh or using other ways to just build a
netinst image (the mini cd one) ?

debian-cd is a better bet

# Only put the installer onto the cd (set NORECOMMENDS,... as well).
# INSTALLER_CD=0: nothing special (default)
# INSTALLER_CD=1: just add debian-installer (use TASK=tasks/debian-installer-$CODENAME)
# INSTALLER_CD=2: add d-i and base (use TASK=tasks/debian-installer+kernel-$CODENAME)
#export INSTALLER_CD=0

Yes, you are right, sorry for my laziness.

This exactly the answer I needed.

Your answer saved me a lot of time, I would like to thank you so much.

Tnx.
